Arsenal agree £10.9m deal to sign Chelsea star Petr Cech

ARSENAL have agreed a £10.9million deal to sign Chelsea star Petr Cech, according to reports.

The two clubs are believed to have been locked in negotiations over a suitable fee for the Czech Republic international after Roman Abramovich sanctioned his move across London.

Cech lost his place in the Chelsea starting XI at the beginning of the season to Thibaut Courtois and was restricted to just six Premier League appearances under Jose Mourinho.

Cech has apparently already agreed personal terms with Arsene Wenger's side, and Sky Sports now claims that Arsenal have now reached an agreement with Chelsea to sign the veteran shot-stopper for £10.9million.

Cech made 485 appearances during his time at Stamford Bridge after joining from Rennes for £7m in 2004, going to lift four Premier League titles, four FA Cups, the Europa League and Champions League in the process.
